In reply to the discussion: My daughter received a summons for a rear end accident [View all]dsc
(52,155 posts)16. all tickets are technically being charged with something
It sounds like he is choosing to fight the charge in court, which is his right. I have had to go to court for a speeding ticket due to it being far over the limit. Otherwise I have paid the tickets and that was that. I don't see how the police are wrong here, he rear ended her car, I am guessing the ticket is either failure to control or too fast for conditions.
On edit: I do find it odd if she was subpoenaed out of the blue. I would imagine the prosecutor usually attempts to see if a witness (victim) will be cooperative.

She just told them she wasn't guilty of what was stated on the citation and they said OK?

For every accident on public roads there will be a charge for the person at fault.
